Recall surges

Recall surges: when one kind of recall suddenly rose

Every time since 2013 that recalls of one hazard or product type came at least 3 times faster than usual (6+ in 14 days), from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC and NHTSA records. Each has its own page with every recall.

Kinds with 6 or more recalls in 14 days and 3× their usual pace: none today (the site's surge rule, explained above). 201 surges on record since 2013.
